Review

"The Borealis Queen might remind readers of the Mel Gibson-directed movie Apocalypto.
Like the Hollywood hit, this book is an action-packed survival/adventure story with fantastical elements underlining the narrative.
Henry Guard has woven a gripping yarn full of action, suspense, mystery, and intrigue.
The author drops the reader into the midst of the action from the get-go, and it's a non-stop thrill ride from there.
The plot is fast-paced, and each chapter brings a new set of surprises that will have you biting your nails in anticipation of what comes next."
